Manchester City are reportedly making a late intervention in a bid to convince Bernardo Silva to extend his stay at the club.
Silva starred for the Sky Blues last season as City secured the historic Treble by winning the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup, but has been tipped for a potential exit.
The riches of Saudi Arabia have piqued Silva’s interest who has been offered a deal that would see him earn over £75m-per-season, with Al-Hilal pushing hard to bring the winger to the Kingdom.
The oil-rich nation has already snapped up some of Europe’s biggest names with Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante all joining the Saudi Pro League in the past 12 months.
However, City – although unable to match the Saudi mega-money – have offered Silva a new and improved deal in an effort to convince the player to remain in England.
Silva’s existing deal still has two years to run, meaning that City could command a hefty transfer fee for the Treble-winning star. However, the club appear keen to ward off any clubs interested in entering negotiations.
The 28-year-old is well-loved at Manchester City and has played a pivotal role in the club’s domineering success in recent seasons.
